David and I worked together at DWD. Besides work, we would have discussions about guitar chords, the Beatles, and history. He was a very personable young man with a great soul. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. I will think of him often. -Bob Rodriguez

I was David's supervisor when he worked in the Equal Rights Division for the state Dept. Of Workforce Development. He was very knowledgeable in our discrimination process. He always handled any work I gave him. He also loved the Badgers, Brewers and Packers. So sorry to here he had cancer. Too young to die. Lynn Hendrickson

David was alway a fun cousin to hangout out with. Many great memories from childhood. Remember when you ratted me out to my dad for speeding on the hilly Wisconsin back roads trying to get air under the tires. Love you and you will be missed
